Linux dev install and connecting to RCP/mk2
Posted: Mon Sep 09, 2019 8:59 pm
Due to a series of events, and a serious ass kicking at Solo Nationals, I'd like to get the datalogger updated and reinstalled in the racecar.
The only PC I have available is my ubuntu 18.04 laptop, and I'm not really much of a pro at it. I managed to get the source to execute, though I had to use a precompiled version of kivy 1.10 installed via conda, because I could not get pip to install it correctly.
Anyhow, the application runs but doesn't connect to the device. The bar at the top flashes between "connecting" and "Searching /dev/ttyACM0".
The os appears to be identifying it
The firmware on the device seems to be alive and well on firmware v2.8.4 and I can connect to it via bluetooth on my phone.
I tried doing the "alternate method" of flashing the firmware at first, but it fails with "Could not find bootloader".
Based on the trouble I had getting the dependencies sorted, I feel like it's likely an issue there, but that's getting a bit over my head. I've spent enough time on it now that I need to ask for help.
So...help?
